ROGER FEDERER: PORTRAIT OF A TENNIS LEGEND
Book ID/图书代码： 02670020C00057
English Summary/英文概要： OUTLINE
It is very hard to argue that Roger Federer is not in the top three or four male tennis players of all-time and, for many experts, he is the greatest ever. This superb biography, filled with photographs from his sensational career, follows
Roger as he made his way in the tennis world, from the junior tournaments to the main professional circuit. His list of achievements makes him more than special: he has won more Grand Slam singles titles (20) than any other male player; he
has won Wimbledon a record eight times, shares the record for six Australian Opens and no one else has won five consecutive US Opens. For his native
Switzerland he has won Olympic gold (in the 2008 Beijing Games doubles with Stan Wawrinka) and silver (losing the singles gold-medal game to Andy Murray at London 2012) and the Davis Cup. Only Jimmy Connors is ahead of him in terms of tournament wins, finals, semi-finals, match victories and overall matches. Suave, sophisticated, a great role model on and off the court, it is easy to why Roger Federer is so popular around the world. Roger Federer: Portrait of a Tennis Legend is an illustrated biography of a
man who has graced the world of tennis for more than two decades, playing with grace, panache and magnificent sportsmanship. Anyone who has a love of tenniswill enjoy learning more about someone who has transcended tennis to become one of the greatest sportsmen of the twenty-first century.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 概述
很难说罗杰•费德勒没有进入有史以来最好的三四名男子网球运动员，而且，对许多专家来说，他是有史以来最伟大的。这本精彩的传记，充满了他轰动一时的职业生涯的照片，跟随罗杰在网球世界的道路上，从少年锦标赛到主要的职业巡回赛。他的一系列成就让他更加与众不同：他赢得的大满贯单打冠军（20个）超过任何其他男性选手；他8次赢得温布尔登纪录，与6次澳大利亚公开赛的纪录相同，没有其他人连续五次赢得美国网球公开赛。在他的祖国瑞士，他赢得了奥运会金牌（在2008年北京奥运会与斯坦•瓦林卡的双打）和银牌（2012年伦敦奥运会单打金牌输给安迪•默里）和戴维斯杯。在锦标赛胜利、决赛、半决赛、比赛胜利和总决赛方面，只有吉米•康纳斯领先于他。温文尔雅，老练，场内外都是一个很好的榜样，很容易理解为什么费德勒在全世界如此受欢迎。罗杰•费德勒：《网球传奇人物的肖像》是一本插图传记，讲述了一个在网球界风华正茂二十多年的男人，他以优雅、华丽的体育精神打球。任何热爱网球的人都会喜欢更多地了解一个超越网球成为21世纪最伟大运动员之一的人。（WYL)
